कैसी चली है अब के हवा तेरे शहर में
बन्दे भी हो गए हैं खुदा तेरे शहर में

… … … What sort of winds blow presently, in this city of yours
… … … Devotees have become Gods, in this city of yours !

क्या जाने क्या हुआ के परेशान हो गए
इक लहजा रुक गई थी सबा तेरे शहर में
… … … Wonder whats happened that caused this concern
… … … Time’s stood still for a moment, in this city of yours!

कुछ दुश्मनी का ढब हैं न अब दोस्ती के तौर
दोनों का एक रंग हुआ तेरे शहर में
… … … There’s no manner in hostility, no grace among friends
… … … Both have the same facade, in this city of yours!

शायद उन्हें पता था के ‘खातिर’ है अजनबी
लोगो ने उस को लूट लिया तेरे शहर में
… … … Perhaps they knew that ‘Khatir’ is a stranger here
… … … He was mugged by the natives, in this city of yours!
